\n A 12-foot-tall bronze statue of Texas Ranger Jay Banks was removed this week from Dallas Love Field Airport after a new book shed light on the figure\u2019s racist history, according to new reports.<\/p>\n

The statue, which has stood at the airport since 1962 and is captioned \u201cOne Riot, One Ranger,\u201d was removed Thursday, the Dallas Morning News<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n

City and airport officials decided to remove the statue a day after reading troubling excerpts about Banks from Doug J. Swanson\u2019s soon-to-be-published book, \u201cCult of Glory: The Bold and Brutal History of the Texas Rangers,\u201d in D Magazine.<\/p>\n

An infamous photo taken in 1957 shows Banks leaning against a tree outside Mansfield High School as a dummy in blackface hung from a noose above the school. Swanson writes: \u201cNearby a white mob had assembled. Some carried signs that threatened death for anyone attempting to integrate the school. Banks saw no need to remove the effigy or disperse the mob.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJay Banks was involved in efforts in 1957 to keep black children out of a white school,\u201d Swanson told KXAS-TV. \u201cRanger Banks was only following orders but he was the face of resistance to integration in Mansfield in 1957.\u201d<\/p>\n

Still, Swanson told the station he was \u201csurprised\u201d at the statue\u2019s removal.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t consulted,\u201d he said. \u201cI have very mixed feelings about it. I think it\u2019s really important for the history of the statue to be known.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not for silencing or abolishing pieces of history,\u201d he told the Morning News. \u201cI am for explaining them and giving them context. In this case, this statue has a very rich and problematic backstory.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tristan Hallman, a spokesman for Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson, told the paper that \u201cthe mayor was not informed by the city manager\u2019s office\u201d of the decision to remove the figure and \u201cwas not aware of the controversy surrounding the statue.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c[Johnson] believes it\u2019s something that the City Council will probably want to weigh in on,\u201d Hallman added.<\/p>\n

The statue was sculpted by well-known Texas artist Waldine Amanda Tauch, according to the paper.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been placed in storage while the city\u2019s Office of Arts and Culture confers with the City Council about what to do with it next, according to KXAS-TV. Swanson\u2019s book is out June 9.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
